A Clerk Not Laboring Man " in Law

A Clerk Not Laboring Man - in Law.
Judge Robertson of Roanoke has de-
cided case involving the question
whether clerk is really ''laborer'' in
the meaning of the statute (code 1873. oh.
1874, p. 8 which excerpts from the opera
tion of the lien Of feri faca, s'wages due
to laboring man being householder or
head Of family not exceeding $50" The
court decided that clerk was not ''la-
boring man. in the meaning Of the Stat
ute, and therefore could not claim an ex-
emption of wages. Judge Robertson will
probably be reversed by the Court Of APP
peals if that tribunal ever gets the ques-
tion before it. The intent and meaning
of the law is to protect wage-workers, and
it will be so decided.

State Convention of W. G. T. u.

State Convention of W. G. T. u.
The Virginia State Convention of the
W. c. T. u. whose session at Lynchburg
we noticed, elected Mrs. W. H. Peasants
of Richmond, President for the ensuing
year, and among the Vice Presidents
Mrs. J. W. Newton Of Stanton, Mrs.
John Paul of Rockingham. and Miss
Maggie Hopewell of Shenandoah.
The Committee on State Organization
through Mrs. J. W. Newton, presented
their report stating that through the aid
of Mrs. Goodale, of Louisiana, much had
been accomplished in Virginia. Mrs.
Goodale had accomplished much good;
had travelled 1000 miles last summer and
delivered ifty-two addresses. besides or
ganizing many lodges. For this she was
to be paid 500 and the profits of concerts,
she paying her own expenses. Mrs. W. G.
Ivey of Lynchburg, had also done much
for the cause.
In the annual report of the Correspond
ing Secretary, the progress of the work was
stated in twenty-five towns. Of the W. G..
T. q. in Stanton the report said, ''They
know no such word as defeat.' The re-
port shows that there ale q Unions in the
State, with 800 active and l25 honorary
members. A large number OF papers pre-
pared by the delegates were read in the
convention. The Lynchburg "News'
says:
The paper of the day, however, was one
on Social Purity read by the chairman of the
committee, Mrs. A. M. M. Fultz of Staun-
| ton. This department of the W. u. Il. u,
co operating with the White Cross Army
(which was founded in 1883 by the Bishop
of Durham) circulate its literature, en-
deayors to secure legislation Of a charac-
ter calculated to protect the honor and
| purity of women and girls, and render
| them safe from the depravity Of
brutal men. 1t seeks to establish signal
code of morals, and to maintain the Jda0 Of
] purity as equally binding upon man and
! agonla7l. 1t seeks to create an atmosphere
in which vice cannot live; to purify the
! home and cleanse the heart. The report.
| in addition to its statements aDd recon-
mendations, was somewhat on the order
OF an essay On the subject treated of, and
was a paper of signal ability. The elo-
quence and pathos of its delivery was only
equalted by the beauty of its dictlon and
the grand lesson it taught.
